I finished the "think outside the kit" quilt during my parent's visit. Below is a progression of how it went together.
It finished at 64" by 79" and I don't think I used half of the fabric from the kit (shown in the first photo). I've got plenty left over to make a backing and do the binding. I'll probably have some left over from that too for scraps!
This was the "Summer" kit. As a reminder, this was the free pattern included with the "Summer" kit.
I picked up a "Spring" kit too. Not sure what I'll do with it yet but I'm thrilled with how this one turned out. I may do something similar since it also contains a large print of the same type as the "Summer" kit. Or I may try to do something completely different. Whatever I make, I'll be sure to show it to you when the time comes.

5" squares |
four patches made from above 5" squares |

Added thin strip of black between panels and four patches then bordered the whole center with black |

Mine doesn't look anything like the included pattern |

Lynn, I love what you did with this! I like it a lot better than the "kit" actually. I'm about there with some of my (many) kits too! o:)
YES! So much better than the pattern in the kit!
Pretty! The very narrow sashing really works.
Lynn, this is darling. I love what you did with those fabrics. Looks fantastic!
This is amazing. I love it.
So much better than the pattern. I love what you did. Way to be brave and go for it!
